Gary Moore - Shapes Of Things (Live) 1984 

Now that’s how you play a guitar. Often mimicked never matched and sadly missed.

One of the best guitar players of all time RIP.gary Moore..

Craig Gruber was a wonderful and deeply talented bass player. Had the privilege of meeting him at a Christmas party in Central NY the year after this video was recorded. He gave me some cool bass technique pointers including my first ever exposure to thumb funk pop slap style. RIP to him and Gary two incredible musicians and gentlemen.

I grew up on Rock n Roll. Zeppelin, Van Halen, Jeff Beck,!Deep Purple, Rainbow, Scorpions, Dio, Skynard, Yes, I could go on and on. How in the world did Gary Moore slip through the cracks. This guy has quickly became my favorite guitarist ever. That used to be Eddie Van Halen, Carlos Santana, Jeff Beck. But I think Gary is a better guitar player than all three of them. I discovered Gary about two years ago on Facebook. I love his blues work. But over the period of time I’ve discovered all his other work and now quickly love everything he does. It’s just a shame that he did not get the air time over here in America. I would’ve definitely seen him live in concert. It’s a shame I’ll never get to see him live. I grew up in San Diego California still reside here. He came here in the 80s, I’m blown away that I missed that show. Heck I would fly overseas to see Gary play. By reading comments on RU-vid videos of Gary I can see he is very popular in Europe South America Japan all over the world. Everywhere but America. Is anybody have any thoughts on why this is the case? Thank God for RU-vid and other music sources so that we still have so much material Gary to enjoy. I have a six disc CD player in my car. Every CD is Gary Moore for the last two years and I’m not even close to be in tired of listening to them. Thank God for Gary Moore! 🎸❤️🎸❤️🎸❤️

Very few have made the guitar sing. Gary Moore was certainly one of them. You'll be sorely missed.

That guitar tone is insane 🎸👌🎶

Gary's death comes as a total shock. A tremendous talent has been lost. Gary was one of my guitar idols and reasons for picking up an electric guitar. Thanks for the music Gary. R.I.P.

Watched this show on telly. Hats off to Craig Gruber. Bass solo on Empty Rooms is cool and should not have been axed from later releases.

I remember seeing him on this tour at Irvine Meadows Amphitheater...opened up for Rush...blew my mind!

The guy playing guitar is playing an ibanez RS1000, the one Gary endorsed around that time. I actually have one, still in near mint condition. I got mine because of Gary...I'm glad his music & part of his soul lives on through his music

RIP...saw Gary live in 1984

Solo of the year in 1983. Nobody could touch this.

Man, this dude just absolutely rips....

Gary Moore...nuff said..legend

although not one of the best looking guitarist ..he is by far my favorite player..a master!!! Monster rocker

A true guitar master, he will be missed😢

RIP Gary Moore, incredible player

What a line up 👍

Ian Paice Gary Moore. 2 of my idols!

Great tone singing and phrasing!

Remember watching SOT LIVE VDO on a vhs tape.... the solo was extended but TOTALLY blew me off. RIP GARY & thanks for ur music.

One of my all time favorite songs.

Gary Moore R.I.P. You were one of the absolute best!!!! GRIEF & GREETINGS from DENMARK..

Gary Moore rocking it out!!

my life long dream since I heard this when it came out on the radiowas to play this song...alas..at my present age, I forget where I put the guitar never mind what the notes are.lol ..this IMHO is the ultimate power song with peffect dynamics....simply awesome

I saw Gary on this tour at Manchester Apollo. Ian Paice on the drums was a huge bonus!

Excellent footage of Classic Gary Moore! Thank you for posting this.. Incredible

The best guitarist of all. RiP.

This was January. By the end of that year Ulster hall ( live at the Emerald Aisles) he had lost a lot of weight.

That's really cool. He's a really talented guy. He was in UFO too before hooking up with Gary.In later years, Ive noticed your uncle sang the whole song. He may have sang others as well. His is very good. Very similar to Gary's.

your music will always live own its a shame nz is such a small country we did our best by playing and promoting your music

Uncle Ted on the Bear Michigan said this was the best version! I Agree!!

@werdnathecat2 OOh, Really? Neil Carter was one of the reason of the success of Gary Moore. His work was really good and in the live concerts he was really professional... This kind of men who make the story of the Metal bigger and bigger working in the background. Give thanks to your uncle!

Saw Gary on this tour when he opened for Rush at the Forum in L.A. back in 1984.

One of the best solos ever

Absolutely killer solo

Awesome version !

Por mucho es la mejor versión de este tema en toda la historia nadie lo va a ser como él....

The sound of power

Great line-up. Saw them in SF at Wolgang's right before it burned down and was never rebuilt.

America really missed the boat on Gary. I am from America so I should know. R.I.P. Gary.

Wow - Gary with a Gibson LP Junior? Thanks for posting.

Awesome!!!!

Awesome !! Brutal Guitar Chops ...........

demasiado calidAD el solo!!!

Great!!

pokerkingTJQKA - Good call man. I have to admit I missed the boat. I didn't discover him til after Victims came out. BUT you observation about Vivien Campbell is dead on. Holy Diver is all Gary Moore.

@GeneralColinBowel Be sure to check out the "Live in Sheffield" version of this great song!

Great tecnique

GARY THE BEST !

Just reading his biography by harry shapiro,please buy it,its a great read❤❤

Killer solo.

@scat311 Exactly my feelings as well. RIP Gary

This is really 1984, yeah...... now you say! Its like's round the 90e's!!!! Bram

oh yeah

Passion

@werdnathecat2 Say Thanx to your unkle, I saw in in the 80s in germany with gary, both were wonderful!

I used to have this on Video, saw this tour live in Sheffield was awesome ! ian paice superb, pity about the head gear lol

@werdnathecat2 thats so cool!

originally by Jeff Beck ( with the Yardbirds ? ) in the late 1960's...I think Rod Stewart sang the vocals......

2 thumbs down. Probably listening to Taylor Swift.

@theeternalidol Look at the guy at 2.19. It's got to be the 80's. Though, I know what You mean, I too think that Gary took some Christmas weight up which he lost later on the same year...

I prefer the Nazereth version of this song followed by the original Yardbirds. This is good though and Gary was great on the guitar.

Looks like Gary from the 2000's, but everyone else looks 80'sish. interesting....

Have this on vid , Moore played really well ,vocals inperfect in places but paice snare is well up in the mix (Good) Neil looks like barry manilow (bad).

I like this version that Moore and Jeff Beck with Stuart does better than the one that Yardbirds, Naazareth and Rush does

Who is the rhythm guitar player? I see him in other of Moore's live stuff.

@scat311 Check out Phil Emmanuel mate !!!

Is that Barry Manilow on guitar???

Neil looks like Barry Manilow!

the yardbirds original was a hundred times better. Gary snore just turns it into a fucking drag.
